While we're not really unschoolers, I love all the "sneaky" little ways you can get early learning in with young kids. Grandpa's here for a visit, so I've taken full advantage of our flexibility in homeschooling to ditch official classes for a few days.
However, when you're five, even if you're an accelerated five, you can get all sorts of learning in by doing the simplest everyday tasks. While I don't think we'll be getting in any history, here's a brief overview of what Becca's already covered this morning.
Reading: Reading several fun books to Grandpa
Logic: A couple of rounds of Guess Who?
Math: A game of cards, similar to War - which number is bigger?
Spelling/Handwriting: Writing out a shopping list for our lunch
Et voila! While I don't think we'll become unschoolers any time soon, it's gratifying to see how much learning goes on under the guise of simple play and daily activities.
